I think it needs to be 100%, or problems could occur. Does your pad & backing plate have a hole in middle of each? If so, buy a pad centering tool (or a paint touch up stick) and you will have no problem centering your pad. When buffing with a pad out of center, it creates uneven pressure and could/will create holograms. An out of center pad will also hop more and could potentially cause damage on panel edges and/or moldings.
